I did some solos these last days, to help PS3 becoming the console master
!
First, double dose of turian sentinel (no, I'm not trying to seduce Techno
), both with Lancer, my usual weapon on him.
Well, I am already in love with your Turian Sentinel

Started attempts Harrier only but Phantoms were too annoying. Switched to Venom. Got a lost connection to ME3 server message two attempts in a row, then did this one. Straight packages. Had one noob missile and did a bad job on Wave 10 cleanup.
3 adepts left.

(Objectives: Hack > pizza > loldevices) Lost 10 WS due to a ravager on wave 10 cleanup. So close....
If you consider ctc's 3 venom solos, capn's venom solo and mine, venom is only 3 spots behind reegar as the most used weapon in solos with only one weapon equipped. I'll do my best to help the venom conquer the first spot.
In the overall category, venom is behind hurricane by 11 spots, and behind reegar by 17 spots. Acolyte is far ahead though. ![]()
^ Nice.
Reegar 64 - Venom 62. ![]()
I don't really love the Venom like TNS, but I don't like the Acolyte. Maybe I should switch to Venom exclusively to help out a little.

Just helping the Venom usurp the Reegar. Wave 10 devices took almost the full five minutes, it was brutal.

Yep, I tried to find a gif with a gallic flavour.
As for your prize, how about some of your stats?

Cheese for days. Sadly this took 5+ attempts because my game kept on crashing. Video later.
I will lead the charge for the GPSG to take over the venom AND Reegar. I've only got to do like 60 or 70 more solos with it.
Thanks cato, I like my prize. I'm confirmed as the biggest console nerd
.

I support you for that.
Alright guys! After some failed attempts with different kits and on different maps I decided to complete my Asari Huntress platinum solo journey against all factions, before expanding to other maps and kits again. Giant has become her home, so I report in three more Huntress solos on FBG. Additionally to the Reapers now the Collectors, Cerberus and Geth can all kiss that little Asari's ass:

t_raks_99 | October 11th 2014 | 73:50 | Giant | Cerberus | Particle Rifle and Acolyte
t_raks_99 | October 11th 2014 | 95:33 | Giant | Geth | Particle Rifle and Acolyte
I was honestly surprised, that Cerberus was the easiest of the four factions for my favorite kit (best time against Reapers was 85 minutes - already reported for the HOF). Geth was the usual bullshit - I can't say it any other way than I HATE GETH, while the Collectors game if I remember right (played that one two and a half weeks ago) took long, but was also relatively easy going with patience.
Having beat all four factions on Platinum makes my Asari a Spectre, right? ![]()

Thanks! Now the hard part waits: other kits and maps...
Here are some platform stats I dug out after capn suggested adding platform data to the solo list.
PC PS3 XBox
Average times: 51:45 52:59 61:02
% solos per enemy:

Interesting to see a higher % of collector solos by xbox compared to PC.
PS3's issues with collectors is quite clearly highlighted.
As suspected, infiltrators and soldiers dominate the class-wise breakdown, but engineers being the least preferred class by soloers is something I didn't expect. The lack of any proper tanky kits (krogans or batarians or stims etc) could be a reason.
A couple of other things I noticed:
There are no XBox solos on Goddess in the HoF. Also, no XBox solos with the Asari Vanguard, N7 Demolisher, N7 Paladin, Quarian Male Infiltrator, Quarian Marksman or Vorcha Engineer have been completed.
There are no PS3 solos with the Batarian Sentinel, N7 Destroyer, Quarian Female Engineer or Talon Mercenary in the HoF either.
Reegar not on the xbox top list is not surprising due to the actual damage drop, and ensuing dissonant bias due to it simultaneously still being overpowered but also not as powerful as on 60fps PC. PPR lovefest on that platform also apparent, and the fact it doesn't appear on the PC list is also not entirely surprising.
Although I am still skeptical about the robustness of the PC data, I would claim the competing effects skewing it in opposite directions are hitscan faction avoidance versus speedruns against Cerberus. That would be my guess without looking through all the solos.
Interesting stuff, cato. I thouhgt PC would completely destroy consoles in terms of average time but no, PS3 is very close.
Without surprise, nobody likes geth, and nobody on PS3 solo against collectors. Engineers being the least used class is a consistent data since I update the PHOF and probably since its beginning. I think that this is due to the absence in this class of a very cheesy or tanky character like all other classes have (GT for soldiers, TGI for infiltrators, kroguard for vanguards, etc.).
Reegar not in the top 5 weapons for Xbox, and PPR in second position on this platform, whereas this weapon isn't in the top 5 for PC and PS3. Surprising.
Re PPR... my guess is that there are two reasons for the difference. The first is the xbox cult that grew up around the weapon, and secondly it isn't that great against enemies when they lock in 3 seconds unless you can boost the damage a lot, and the two characters good at that are GI and TGI and both have other options that are effective.
Reegar not on the xbox top list is not surprising due to the actual damage drop, and ensuing dissonant bias due to it simultaneously still being overpowered but also not as powerful as on 60fps PC.

I'm not sure what you mean, can you explain?

It doesn't matter, just crazy ramblings. But for specific factions Cerberus and Collectors have the most hitscan dps. I think it still works out the same on Platinum despite being mixed.

Devices, Escort, Hack. Actually these objectives worked out fairly decently although devices took a while. Hacks are great if you can glitch them. I got grabbed in an attempt before this one trying to get off a good cleanup missile on 10, which I thought was bs actually. Also that game was interesting for getting the middle Hack twice and then the hack in the power station.
For this one a Banshee tries to pick me up at 12:50 but my cluster grenades didn't allow it. ![]()
Used Harrier. Venom might have been better.
